Looks as if a T.2 Hawk has crashed in wales today.

The two pilots have ejected safely, and theres early reports that the aircraft hit a goose.

Edit:- it looks to be RAF BAE systems Hawk T.2 ZK032 (FH) as VYT15 that crashed.

Almost certainly an engine failure of some kind, good to hear both pilots ejected,no serious injuries reported as yet.
Could well be a birdstrike,but too early to tell.
